Toyo Tire introduces a new urban/regional all-position commercial Toyo M156. This SmartWay-pending Tire succeeds the M154 and has several upgraded features. These include a four-rib design and a new patented buttress-sidewall design which ensures even pressure distribution along the center and outer contact patch ribs, reducing irregular wear.

Toyo’s E-balance Technology and specialized sidewall, base, cap, and base compounds combine to provide a low rolling resistance tire that is long-lasting. These compounds, a wide belt package and a new carcass design, combined with a high elongation top-belt, reduce the strain at the belt and bead edges. This allows the tire to maintain an even, flat tread radius. This improves fuel efficiency, turning, casing durability and wear resistance. A center groove with angled groove wall and stone ejectors resists irregular wear and tear, minimizes stone retention, and helps protect the casing. The outer grooves have a stabilizer to prevent rib flex and promote even tread wear.

The new M156 commercial tire size will be available in wheel diameters of 19, 22, and 24 inches starting in July 2024.
